Hi all,

Up for sale is this *pristine* original genuire McGizmo 6-flutes UXOK McLuxIII Ti-PD.

I can't say it is "as received from Don", because it looks actually better now IMO. NOT that it doesn't look good when received from the master :ohgeez: but I reworked it with 600 sandpaper to erase machining marks, scratches and light blemishes it originally had. The light is now smooth with a mate/satin finish. Pretty shiny but certainly not polished.

One point : the 2mm thick saphire lens AR coating was incomplete, I decided to get rid of it and removed all the coating with alcool. It is now plain saphire, needless to say I was unable to see any difference in output with bare eyes.

The piston has a green tritium vial, has not been sandpaper reworked, it is stock. The vial is nicely potted in the milled pocket.

The Led is a UXOK, bright and white. :cool:

I haven't used the light more than just playing around at home, basically it has been shelf queen so far (threads will need some break-in as any new Ti light). The light is clean and gently lubed wit krytox.

Tritium vial brightness exagerated by the camera. It is equaly bright to the other vials I have though.

The TB light is NOT for sale

I will definetely regret this light, it's a piece of McGizmo "legacy" and titanium lights history, but I have another one that is under heavy EDC and I can't afford or justify keeping both. It is time for this one to find a new sweet home. I just hope nothing happens to my EDC coz I won't have any spare :huh::sick::green:

Price is SOLD :thumbsup: firm shipped from France to North, central and south America, Caraïb, middle-east, Asia and Oceania. Shipped priority but not insured nor trackable. Any other shipping method is available on request at actual cost. I won't be held responsible for lost/damaged/stolen during it's journey, once this is in the mail my part of the deal is finished and complete.

If you are in Europe, price will be adjusted according to actual shipping cost. If you are in France (who knows?) shipping should be cheaper I guess :shrug:.

Paypal only at : aoc.paypal (at) gmail (dot) com

First "I'll take it" get's it. An "I'll take it" is no placeholder and I need to hear from the buyer and receive funds within 12 hours.

Let's find a new home to this sweetie :eek:

This light looks beautifull. I have to admit I wouldn´t be able to achive such a nice surface with 600 sandpaper. I just tried it on a brass body a few days ago and all I achived was scratches :(

Good luck wih you sale!

Ohhh nice.. Get some #800, #1000, #1500 and #2000 sand paper and with a little patience the light will look more awesome!! (I did that on my Mule and Ti Bezel) just beautiful!

All the best in your sale...free bump

UXOK defines its tint (colour)....there are variations of colour which is around the 6500k. Led manufacturers seperate the leds by tints among others so that customers can purchase led output with specific tinits, such as vanilla white, pure white, warm white, bluish white etc.

If McGizmo chooses this led, it must be for a special reason. Getting a McGizmo is also worthdoing so if you have the spare cash. I have 2 and its very much worth it...IMO :twothumbs
